Windows 10 "Multiple Editions"

Windows 10 is now posted on Dreamspark for students, but there are two versions (see attachment)--an "Education" edition and a "Multiple Editions" version. Does anyone know what the difference is between these?

 

I would like to know it too!

According with MSDN portal (), the "Multiple Editions" does include Windows 10 Professional and Windows 10 Home.

Hope it helps.

I ended up downloading both and checking them with the following command:

Code:

dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:E:sourcesinstall.wim

star is correct, the "Multiple Editions" ISO contains 10 Home and 10 Pro, whereas the Education ISO is (obviously) just the Education edition.

But you only get one key for the "Windows 10 Multiple Editions 32/64-bit", so can the key activate both home and pro?

That I do not know. I would say it probably works on either, but that would be very abnormal for MS to do. I'm only going to activate the Education edition when I install tonight, but once I'm up and running I can spin up a couple VMs to check activation on each of the two editions. I'll report back afterward.

Ok, I found out, that the key is for the Pro version.

Be careful with that; apparently the EDU key you get from DreamSpark will expire when your college/university/institution sets your account status to graduate. my boss at college.

Did you both did CLEAN install using DreamSpark Multipal Edition Windows 10 Key (Format full hard drive and install fresh)
OR
you have to do UPGRADE first from Windows 7/8 to Windows 10 and Then you use the DreamSpark key to do clean install???

I also got the multiple editionskey but i do not want to do Upgrade. I want to do Fresh Clean Install.

So please let me know how you used DreamSpack Key to install Windows 10.

The Dreamspark versions always allow a clean install. The method you described is only needed because the free 7/8->10 upgrade does not give you a license key that can be activated separately.
